WEDDING CRUSHERS

Now that Liam himself is a newlywed, it’s Kurt’s turn to tie the knot—but treacherous Crown Prince Cleo has no intention of allowing Kurt’s wedding to Cecilia to play out smoothly. Before long, the imperial army floods House Exner’s home planet, effectively trapping members of the house!

When Liam gets wind of Kurt and Cecilia’s trouble, he drops everything to try and salvage the couple’s future together. But the Avid is missing from Liam’s own arsenal for the moment… So holding his own against the imperial army may take a miracle!

WEDDING WOES…

Liam at last sets out to tie the knot with Rosetta—but the proxy war for the imperial throne could postpone their nuptials! Soon, more and more factors distract Count Banfield from his fiancée: enemies’ plots, allies’ betrayals, and even a fearsome assassin. Will he overcome those curveballs and wed his patient bride-to-be? With Liam himself in danger, his betrothal is on even thinner ice…

GONE IN A FLASH!

Becoming proficient in the Way of the Flash is a tall order, and Liam has plateaued. Honing his skills further will be tough at this point—to say nothing of passing those skills along to Ellen! Hoping that his master, Yasushi, can help him through the rough patch, Liam goes to track him down. But finding Yasushi at long last doesn’t entitle Liam to a crash course in the Way of the Flash. Instead, he discovers that he’ll need to deal with a “flashy” imposter…

LORDING IT OVER A NEW PLANET!

Finished with his disappearing act, Liam goes back to training on the Capital Planet. But the Guide is planning his next move, and enemies are declaring war on the Empire! As that clash unfolds, Liam gets his marching orders: he’ll serve as magistrate for a frontline planet. There, he needs to hold down the fort—while playing out all the “corrupt magistrate” fantasies he can dream up!

LIAM THE HERO?!

After repelling the United Kingdom’s invasion, Liam’s faction is now more powerful than the First Prince’s. Before he can settle things with Calvin, though, a magic circle pops up out of nowhere right at Liam’s feet. He and Japanese high school girl Kanami have both been caught up in an undeveloped planet’s hero summoning and are tasked with nothing less than defeating the Demon Lord! But…Liam’s supposed to be evil, so why is he fighting some Demon Lord as a hero?!

A CLASH OF FLASH AND…FLASH?

In his previous life, Liam played by the rules and lost—this time, he’ll rise to the top on the side of evil! After protecting Prince Cleo from Prince Linus’s assassination attempts, another prince’s actions are leading to something much worse: the Empire being invaded! Liam is caught in this brewing conflict and racks up enemies inside and outside the Empire, but two individuals step up to the plate to challenge him personally…while claiming to be fellow disciples of the Way of the Flash! Can Liam cut through these conflicts and still take care of his domain?

AN EVIL LORD’S PRIDE IS ON THE LINE!

After being contacted by one of the princes, Liam finds himself dragged into the Empire’s succession conflict. The Guide warns him about his “”true enemy,”” but…who could it be? Then, Liam finally completes his military service and it’s time to start his college career. His friends poke fun at him for not having any “”fun”” in his schooling so far, so he sets his sights on a brave new world of casual flings with coeds! Will Liam finally grow into the perfect evil lord with a league of ladies by his side?

EVIL ON PATROL

What comes after boarding school for an evil lord? The military academy, of course! Liam’s subordinates arrange the perfect overpowered patrol fleet for his post-academy training period, but the Guide is hungry for revenge against the young evil lord and takes this as an opportunity to strike! Will the Guide succeed? And will Liam ever notice that the Guide isn’t actually trying to help?

CONQUER THE HAUGHTY HEART!

In an elite boarding school for nobles, Liam meets Rosetta, the strong-willed daughter of a duchess. He can’t wait to take the proud lady down a peg, just as a good evil lord should! But as it turns out, the arrogant aristocrat is really a damsel in distress, desperate to return her disgraced house to its former glory! In trying to break her spirit, will Liam break down the walls of her heart instead?

EVIL LOVES COMPANY

Liam begrudgingly travels to another lord’s domain to receive a noble education, and the Guide makes sure to muck up his reputation. When Liam attempts to bribe the reigning lord in exchange for a cushy life on the planet, he’s deemed destitute and given the cold shoulder! Thinking the man is just far too upstanding for his “incentives,” Liam decides that other nobles who got the same treatment must be just as wicked as he is! Will his pretty boy roommate, Kurt, and the gorgeous yet suspiciously friendly girl, Eila, become his new evil besties?
